Father, Mother, source of life, all being;
your very name fills us with awe.
We long to know you, ruler of all; unelected,
you elect us to do your will, here, now, forever.
You who nursed creation as it grew,
fill us now with solid food;
leave no room for envy,
release resentment,
that our lives may be made whole.
Catch us when we are falling;
save us from harm,
for without you, we perish,
we are bereft; you only have
the power to raise us up to glory.
